Tha Carter IV Songwriting Credits by Lil Wayne

Tha Carter IV is the ninth studio album by Lil Wayne, released in August 2011 on Cash Money Records / Universal Republic and produced by Birdman, Kane Beatz, T-Minus, Tha Bizness, Detail, and Bangladesh. The most anticipated hip-hop release of the year, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling nearly one million copies in its first week and breaking records for digital album sales. Featuring collaborations with Busta Rhymes, Tech N9ne, Andre 3000, and Rick Ross, the album showcased Wayne's continued ability to draw top-tier guests. While critics generally found it less revelatory than Tha Carter III, the album's commercial triumph affirmed his position as the most bankable name in rap. Tha Carter IV is a statement of sustained commercial dominance from an artist who had fundamentally reshaped the sound and business of hip-hop over the preceding decade.
